I really don't think your battery is going dead, sounds to me more like your coil is going out. Usually when they start going out they tend to work fine until the get hot, quit working and start working again once they cool off. I hope this helps you.

You were lied to.
May be a fuel filter. Bike runs for a while then stops.
coils do this too. Only way to check is to replace it (or them)

NEVER jump a motorcycle with a car, there is no telling what you fried on the bike. You are lucky the ecm is not toast along with the rectifier and other electrical componets. Replace the battery, it obviously has a dead cell and won't hold a charge.

Yes, yes, and no, and I don't know. You could have blown a fuse, but it seems it would be showing other symptoms if you did. THe age of the battery is a good indication of condition, over one year old, suspect, over 2 years old, definitely could be in need of replacement. Check the water in the battery and fill it to the level with bottled water, or rain water, no minerals, then get one of those floaty ball testers and check the electrolyte fluid weight, One dead cell, the battery is shot. Could have been not enough time to charge it back it up. A battery charger needs to run all night. So, check it out, hope this helps.

82 XLH 1000 STARTS RUNS GREAT UNTIL IT GETS HOT. THEN MISSES BACKFIRES STALLS OUT

Check the cam sensor in the nose cone on the right side of the engine. These have a tendency to cause the type of problem you are having. Over time, the heat cycles the sensor goes through causes the epoxy to melt when hot, pulling the wires away from their contacts. After the bike cools, the wires again make contact and the bike runs fine until it gets hot again. Not a bad job to change the sensor, you just have to retime the bike after a new sensor is installed.

More likely to be your ignition coils. They heat up and expand this can cause an open circuit which will close up again when it has cooled down. Although, a bad charging system may cause this problem. Check the battery voltage with engine switched off ( approx 12 volts) and with the engine running (approx 14 volts) If you are getting 14 volts then your battery is dead, if you aren't, then your charging system has a fault.

My bike is a 2001 1100 v star that seems to be eating batteries all of a sudden. I was on a ride 2 moths ago and the bike started skipping under a load and when I stopped to check it out it shut off and...

My initial thought is you haved a faulty voltage regulator. You should be charging at about 15 volts, but when your battery gets charged, the voltage regulator should turn the charge system off.

Your battery is hot ... you are over charging.

Im sorry, I dont know where your regulator is located.

I hoped you find some value in this comment.

1993 Kawasaki 750R - Model M , charging issue - WEIRD !!!

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, have you checked the 30 Amps main fuse and its holder clips? It would be integrated with the starter relay. The fuse or the fuse holder may have heat related problem(s) causing it to loose conductivity when hot.The fuse may require replacement even if it tests good and/or the fuse holder would need cleaning / crimping. To locate the starter relay (main fuse), follow the battery cable from the + terminal of the battery.

Please postback results.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

Battery is not getting charge from the bike

Hi,

A most likely possibility is the voltage regulator. In some instances, it could just be corroded terminals/connectors. Likewise please check the wires coming from the alternator/stator that goes to the voltage regulator.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

Rectifier Problem?? When the bike is very hot and I make a quick stop for gas, when I hit the starter button to start it up, it sounds momentarily like it's going to start then it feels as if the battery...

If the battery is charged, its charged..... redpoint5 is right, check the battery when hot... If the battery was not charging i would then look into the charging system, rectifier, etc.... Is it an air cooled engine? Sometimes engines can get a little warped when hot... My grandfather had Corvair vans as taxis that somehow always got overheated, after that they would never start hot. So, he had to leave them running all day.... If your battery is OK you may want to have a look at your starter.... Or, bypass the selenoid with a jumper cable and see if the starter kicks over fine when jumped directly...... That would indicate a bad or worn selenoid.

Either the battery is hot from use or has been in the sun, let it cool down, then try again.
